Chapter 18: Before the Wedding (1)

Yan Fu, the vice president and director of the Royal Naval University, came, and the accompaniment of the "Thirteen Taibao" formulated by Guangxu also came, these people came, but they are about to get married recently, and they are very busy, worshipping ancestors, worshipping the sky, sacrificing the earth, there are many ceremonies, and there are no good ones to do well with them, and a lot of things have happened during this period, among which the affairs of Duan Qirui and Liu Mingchuan are the most eye-catching. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Duan Qirui knew that his life had taken a turn when he received the appointment of the Holy Decree, and according to the rules, he was going to Jingshi to thank him, but the imperial court knew that Tibet was far away, so he was exempted from this procedure and let him set off as soon as possible.

The minister stationed in Tibet is a third-grade official, and his deputy minister is a fourth-grade official, but Guangxu also gave him the post of commander of the first army of the Royal Army, indicating that he wanted him to train a new army in Tibet, and he was not ambiguous, and immediately took a dozen classmates to the Tianjin Ordnance Factory, at this time, the ordnance factory had produced a batch of samples according to the drawings, dozens of new rifles, hundreds of bullets, more than a dozen submachine guns, and a few infantry guns, and only a few dozen shells, which still had to be a sample for Guangxu to see.

When Li Hongzhang knew about this, Duan Qirui had already taken a boat to Guangzhou, and went to see Zhang Zhidong, Duan Qirui had already made a calculation, and it was written in the holy decree that he should bring new weapons and train a new army, and when he arrived in Guangzhou, it was okay to give it, and if he didn't give it, he could only rob it.

What makes Li Hongzhang unbearable is that he hasn't played yet, Liu Mingchuan was very shocked when he got the weapon drawings that Li Hongzhang gave him, and when he learned that Tianjin had produced new weapons, he went over to visit, of course, this time the arsenal was strictly guarded, and it was impossible to let the last thing happen again, but Liu Mingchuan was more clever.

Liu Ming was rumored to have poached Li Hongzhang's technicians and craftsmen at a high price, and these people were poached from all outstanding personnel who participated in the entire research and development, and Li Hongzhang's wages to them were already very high, but Liu Ming, who was also a local official, gave them higher, and he ran very fast, the most annoying thing, he Liu Mingchuan was still sitting, and the warship of the Beiyang Naval Division was gone!

The angry old man went to impeach Liu Mingchuan and Duan Qirui the next day, and when Guangxu saw it, he directly replied to him, "I prove that Duan Qirui and Liu Mingchuan owe Li Hongzhang a favor, and the two of you will repay Li Hongzhang this favor in the future!" ”

With Guangxude's attitude, it is difficult for other officials to say anything!

The rest is that the tobacco company in Beijing with the help of start-up funds, quickly set up the equipment, and soon the sample also came out, this cigarette without a filter when he smoked in Guangxu's mouth, Guangxu was very melancholy, this cigarette is really strong!

But now the sales of this cigarette is indeed not very good, most of the Chinese in this era are smoking tobacco bag pots, the popular in Europe and the United States is chewing tobacco leaves, cigarette rolls are a new thing after the Crimean War, so there is still a process to become popular, Guangxu decided to be this spokesperson, so as long as it is in front of the minister, Guangxu must come to one.

Fluttering posture, with a handsome face, the effect of advertising is still obvious, soon the number of smokers in the capital increased, and the sales of Beijing Tobacco Company are no longer a problem, the problem is that the production capacity can't keep up at all!

Lu Zhengxiang had already put forward a plan to expand production, and Guangxu made some guidelines, first to build a factory in Fengtian, where to grow tobacco leaves, to buy paper in Jiangnan, to process it locally in Fengtian, and then transport it by water to the whole country for distribution.

Moreover, Guangxu also specifically mentioned that the export plan of tobacco should also pay close attention to the international market, regulate taxation, and actively expand the international market in the north, but Lu Zhengxiang did not mention the hard work in accordance with Guangxu's instructions.

Guangxu finally stole half a day to the place where the class was held, looking at his own thirteen Taibao and his Royal Navy Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs, Guangxu was very happy, today is Weng Tonggong to give Guangxu a lesson, Guangxu threw out a question in the classroom, in recent years, the Qing Dynasty was deeply affected by the White Lotus Sect's rebellion, the military power spent, the money rang countless times, and also caused the city to be destroyed, the world was barren, and countless casualties were killed.

Therefore, it is very important to identify cults, and Guangxu asked what a cult is, and what characteristics do cults have?

These companions, including the two who have a navy, are frowning, this question is a thousand things, do you really want to say that his characteristics are really difficult to summarize, there seems to be any other religion that the cult has! So how can you tell if this is a cult?

Guangxu looked at them and said; "Let me tell you, the first cult all believe in it, they are all engaged in the worship of living people, and there is usually a person from the sect leader or the holy aunt, this is a living person, this person is either immortal, or can cure all diseases, or can know all the things of time, Fang Zheng is omnipotent, and it is extremely holy, its purpose is to make people worship him, please note that this is a living person!

The second is the bottomless exploitation of the believers, claiming that as long as you wholeheartedly believe in this living person, any of your wishes can be realized, but you have to pay, and there is no bottom line to pay, if you have money, you will hand over all your money, a woman is to give her body, that person is to sacrifice your dignity, and even to die for that living person and do evil things! As long as this god stick says a word, it must be right, this god stick makes the believers do things that violate the bottom line of morality, or even do things that break the law, and will not take into account the feelings of these people at all, and the life and death and dignity of these disciples are not considered by these gods at all. The exploitation of the faithful is already exhaustive.

If we have the above two items, then we can definitely determine that this is a cult organization!

Everyone admires the neighbor to the east, whose modernization process is going quite fast, but he has such a curse, that is, the curse of cults, and if this curse is not removed, Japan will never be able to become a modern country.

Okay, all of you go back and compare what I said, and take a good look at Japan, how do we deal with friction between us!!

Look at Weng Tonggong again, who is also thinking deeply, cult, interesting!

Originally, he chose some accompaniment, and the old man did not object to it, but they all chose these people, and the old man's mind could not help but be lively, and he would be an accompaniment to the emperor, and the fool knew that the future was unlimited in the future, so Weng Tonggong said to Guangxu!

The emperor Hanlin Academy Hanlin Wang Li is currently the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, his literary talent, Jianwen and virtue are good, are great talents, the old minister hopes that he can go to the emperor's side to study, in order to boost the stamina, Guangxu thought that the old man should carry private goods at this time! This Wang Li must be this old man's life and death party.

But Guangxu is not easy to say anything, at the same time more people, Guangxu can preach his own ideas, so that Guangxu after the new policy is absolutely beneficial, so Guangxu said, this way, teacher, you select young talents in the various members of the ministry to accompany me to study, in the future, we will set the book is about 60 people, accompanied by lectures, seeking the law, exploring the all-encompassing, everyone explores each other and makes progress together, is it also a good thing, In addition, officials from various ministries are asked to come to our palace at least five times a month to "teach". said that it was "teaching", but in fact, Guangxu taught them in the future!

Then he said to the vice president and the dean of academic affairs of the Naval University, how do you two feel about attacking these days?

The two goods replied, "Very good."

Guangxu said that he originally wanted to keep you to participate in my wedding, but the country is so difficult, and many things are waiting for us to do, so before the real wedding, you should go back, and the university's funds have been received, right?

The two returned: "Got it!" ”

Guangxu said: "You don't have to worry about the later school funds, since I am the president of this university, I will definitely be responsible for him, I will not ask about specific teaching affairs, in this regard, the two of you, the specific division of labor is responsible, I only ask about the results, you select and hire excellent teachers all over the world, and you are careful to train students and teach modern military knowledge." ”

In addition, the Army University will definitely become independent in the later period, but now the Naval University will also have a heavy burden to pay attention to this aspect, and many of our army officers and men will be born in these colleges in the future, which will go to the battlefield to fight, and they must be responsible for them. You will be personally responsible for the affairs of the Army Department of the Naval University, and at the same time make preliminary preparations for the establishment of the Army University.

Guangxu's intention is obvious, the vice president of the Army University in the future is Yan Fu, but he was born in the navy, in fact, this is not important, professional knowledge is naturally taught by professional teachers, and the main function of the principal is to manage the school and carry the school forward.

At the same time, this can also solve a problem, that is, the contradiction between the army and the navy, other countries are the existing regular army, and then there is a modern navy, but China is the opposite, and the army academy is born out of the naval academy, which can largely resolve the natural contradiction between the navy and the army.

This is the lesson of Japan in World War II with blood summed up, if the Japanese navy and army at that time were monolithic, we China will definitely fight harder, so Guangxu can not make such a mistake! Solidarity is the most important thing.

Next, Guangxu explained what a modern country is, and all the people agree with a community that they have imagined together, rather than a small community that is tightly attached to the human body, such as only identifying with a small community such as the township party, the friend party, and the superiors.

Guangxu asked people to make this point of view into a telegram, and the whole country should be electrified, and they must learn it!

Guangxu asked these two people in the navy to teach this point of view to every student, and Guangxu will make every study record in the future and send it to the whole country, and the navy must study!

At this time, someone came to pass the decree, saying that the Queen Mother asked Guangxu to go!

Guangxu said that it would be dispersed!

13 Taibao think about the problem!

You two are going with me to see the Queen Mother!
